There’s a coffee stain

on the page
sirens

and honks grime

the rain
from the window ridge

fat and greasy
it throws its chime

into the noise
There’s a coffee stain

on the page
sirens

and honks grime

the rain
“will work for a dime”

cardboard sign
calcines

a woman’s hands
There’s a coffee stain

on the page
sirens

and honks grime

the rain
